The World Cup of Cards has their Main Event which started their first starting flight a bit earlier. The tournament is creeping towards the end of the second 20-minute level of the day. The $1,100 buy-in offers players a shot at the $1,000,000 guarantee and 176 players have already registered for Day 1a.

partypoker Twitch Streamer Matt Staples won a ticket through one of the many partypoker had on offer:

The 20-minute levels will be throughout the starting days and players can reenter once if needed during the first 12 levels of the day. When registration closes, the number of surviving players needed will be displayed in the tournament lobby and play will continue until those players are remaining in the field.

Marco Rapf is in the lead and followed by Georgi Sandev, Viteslav Cech, Patrick Corcoran, and Aleksandr Nosov in the top five.

Jaime Staples is in 58th place right now with no colleagues of his to be found in the top 100.
